He was the sole pharmacist invited to present at a landmark DEA hearing, and he’s here to give us the clinical facts on marijuana today.Take action today and write to the administration: president@whitehouse.govPlease ask him NOT to reclassify marijuana from a CS1 to a CSIII. His reason for moving it to a CSIII was because he said that it could be studied more. Please let him know that since 1985 there have been 11,309 studies done to the tune of 4.7 billion dollars of taxpayer money and as a result, not one FDA approval was given for marijuana or cannabis. As a citizen, you urge him to leave marijuana as a controlled substance (CS) I.For more information read: The Attacker smoked Cannabis by Ross Granger

Laura Stack Educating about the Dangers of Marijuana
For 30 years, Laura Stack was best known in the business world as "The Productivity Pro." Her career as a keynote speaker, bestselling author of eight books, and corporate spokesperson came to a screeching halt on November 20, 2019, when her 19-year-old son, Johnny, died by suicide after becoming psychotic from dabbing high-THC marijuana concentrates. Laura responded by forming the nonprofit, Johnny's Ambassadors, to educate parents, teens, and communities about the dangers of today's high-THC marijuana on adolescent brain development, psychosis, and suicide. Her platform now brings prevention education to drug prevention conferences, community groups, and schools to stop youth marijuana use. Johnny's story has been told in People Magazine, the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Epoch Times, the Ingraham Angle, the Untold Story with Martha MacCallum, and PBS. Laura is the recipient of the Drug-Free America Foundation's Moxie Award for protecting youth from substances, the Leadership in Advocacy Award from the National Speakers Association, and the American Association of Suicidology's Loss Survivor of the Year Award. Laura is a powerful speaker who brings Johnny's personal warning and solid research together in her book, The Dangerous Truth About Today's Marijuana: Johnny Stack's Life and Death Story.
